The Wicked Witch of the West has invaded Storybrooke!
Zelena recently dropped a huge bombshell…she is Regina’s half-sister! In addition, she claimed that two of the series’ greatest evils: Cora (her mother) and Rumpelstiltskin abandoned her. In addition, she is also responsible for taking away the Storybrooke residents’ memories.
However, she also holds a wild card, a reincarnated Mr. Gold, who is slowly deteriorating into his “Dark One” persona.
Spoilers ahead! Were the Charmings and Regina able to stop the Witch?
The show started off in the Enchanted Forest as Charming suffered a nightmare that focused on him abandoning Emma, due to Regina’s curse. As the dream ended, Emma stated: “Don’t forget the next one.” The cryptic clue led to Snow happily announcing that she was pregnant with their second child. While Charming announced that he was “happy,” he panicked.
Photo courtesy ABCCharming shared his concerns with Robin Hood in the Evil Queen’s stables. The outlaw recommended that the Prince go after an herb called knight root, which would help ease his fears. After traveling to the Sherwood Forest, David found the root, but heard a desperate cry for help in a tower. There, he met Rapunzel.
The princess stated that after looking for the fabled root, she could not leave the tower due to a mysterious hooded figure who claimed to be a witch. However, it was really her fear that kept her prisoner. As the hooded figure scaled and invaded the tower, David told Rapunzel that she faced her fears by fighting it. After cutting her long hair, she was able to kill the figure and Charming was able to reunite Rapunzel with her family.
In Storybrooke, Hook, Regina and the Charmings began drawing out a battle plan on how to handle the Wicked Witch. While Regina kept an eye on Henry; Emma, Hook and Charming returned to the Evil Queen’s office to find more intel on the intruder. As the Charmings were looking for the Oz villainess, Zelena visited her captive, Mr. Gold, and shaved him using his own dagger.
Using a little bit of Rumple’s blood, Zelena traveled to the Pawn Shop and asked Belle for a baby gift for the Charmings. As Mr. Gold’s girlfriend grabbed the gift, the Witch froze her and used Gold’s blood to break the Blood Lock and obtained the knight root. She then headed straight to meet the Charmings.
Once Charming returned from Regina’s office, he helped Snow welcome Zelena into their home and the “mid-wife” did her first job for them: making tea. However, she spiked Charming’s teacup with knight root dust. He then exited the apartment and headed back into the woods to catch up with Emma and Hook.
However, the same hooded figure began to stalk Charming, and he confronted him. Charming was successful in facing his fears and defeated the demon. Once the demon exploded his sword disappeared in green smoke and became Zelena’s property.
With Regina’s assistance, Emma, Charming and Hook were able to track down Zelena’s farmhouse and looked inside the storm shelter where they found Rumple’s spinning wheel and golden straw!
Next week, Rumple is on the run! Will he reunite with Belle?
